Thanks for the reminder! I knew it was on in April but forgot the exact date & time. I saw this when it was first broadcast on the BBC back in December and I'm looking forward to giving it a second viewing!

I ordered the DVD from the RSC as I was impatient, but I will certainly be tuning in on Wednesday night!

Also (from the playbill article):

"Immediately following the broadcast, the film will be available online in its entirety at http://www.pbs.org/gperf . "

VERY exciting!

Loved it, absolutely loved it. Outstanding performances by everyone involved. The "To Be..." speech was brilliant!

Patrick Stewart's voice sounded very shaky.

It was magnificent. I thought it would ease my mind for not being able to see the production, but it made me wish I'd seen it even more.

I agree, Chrysanthemum. Makes me wish the RCS production (with British cast intact) had gone to Broadway instead of the Donmar production.
